The world is an oyster for three young shooters from the Werribee Victorian Clay Target Club.

Acacio Mota, Georgia Pistone and Charlie Hudson-Czerniecki have travelled the world this year as part of Australian shooting teams.

Mota has recently returned from the Universal World Trench Championships team that went to Italy earlier this month.

He finished runners up to teammate Gabe Sensi in the individual junior world championship event. They then teamed up with Lucas Furlan to win the junior team gold by 11 targets.

Pistone also went to the Universal World Trench Championships as part of the same Australian team.

She was part of the ladies team that came third.

The 18-year-old will soon be back competing and has been selected in the Australian team to go to the world championships in September in Croatia.

Mota has also been selected for the world championships team.

Earlier this year, Charlie Hudson-Czerniecki was part of the Australian ladies team that went to the World Cup in Azerbaijan in April.

She won silver in the teams event alongside two other Victorians.

All three started at the Werribee Victorian Clay Target Club when they were 12 having gone through a school program beforehand.
